 That sounds very likely what I did. I will check the fstab entry on the sd
 card, but I'm almost certain it was mtdblock0.

 On the minus side this means I will definitely need a debug board, but at
 least it is highly likely to not be a waste of money and effort.

You can also ask  on the list if is someone with a debug-board near you.

 After hooking it up to my external power supply, I'm able to see it starts
 to draw ~50mA when I hit the power button. It never actually responds just
 sits there draining away the battery.


I'm sure you managed to brick your 1973, I did it myself last january, with 
the same result making it a /dev/null for charge.

I mounted /dev/mtdblock0 by accident instead of /dev/mtdblock4 (I had a bad 
$mtdparts on the sd entry) and jffs2 reclaimed some unused space. This could 
happen as resulto of this action (in the head message): 

 1) I added the onboard fs to my fstab in my SD debian install so that I
 could access it while booted into debian. 

the answer to your question in the previous message:
2) Will the newer Debug board that comes with the GTA02 work with the GTA01? 

Is acording to the wiki YES, see http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Debug_Board_v3

Michael pointed it out too -- I didn't notice we are talking about GTA01
instead of GTA02; it's no wonder you didn't mention NOR because there
isn't one on there.  Sorry for the noise.  (Kernel sources are the last
holdout where neo1973 tag refers to both GTA01 and GTA02, so seeing
neo1973 didn't trigger me to think about GTA01).

If something bad did happen to U-Boot bit of the NAND then you are going
to need a debug board to recover if I understood it, so let's hope you
get lucky after some charging.

I think so, but I never used GTA01 so I can't give you totally straight

neo1973 does not power on.

2008-09-23 Thread tck6346

After a recent reboot, the system never came back. Pushing the power button
causes nothing to happen. I don't even seem to get into uboot(no logo screen). I
don't have a debug board. I do not have a sim card. I've been running Debian off
of the SD card mostly with success. I reflashed Uboot a few weeks ago, but have
rebooted many times since then without incident.

most recent changes (prior to last reboot):
1) I added the onboard fs to my fstab in my SD debian install so that I could
access it while booted into debian.
2)I changed from the debian X.org server over to the Xfbdev server copied from
the onboard fs. It worked fine when I did a startx. And I know it was running
the Xfbdev server because I was able to screen rotates with xrandr.

Things I've tried:
1) I tried pulling the battery, to clear state. Then restarting.
2) Letting it sit plugged in to make sure the battery had good charge. I
measured 4.1 volts across the battery terminals(out of the phone).
3) I removed the SD card. and repeated the above steps.


Any suggestions as to what to try next?

See if this helps: pull the battery, wait a few seconds, then hold down
AUX key and keep it down, reapply battery, hold power button in too, let
go of AUX then let go of power button.

Andy,

For the curious, and for further enlightenment, can you explain what 
that does?

It just starts him up in NOR U-Boot instead of NAND.  The guy didn't
mention NOR, it can be he trashed the NAND U-Boot during meddling with
Debian and he will be able to recover via NOR if that's the case.

I found on some devices with various vintages of NOR U-Boot and / or
trouble you need to do that particular sequence to get it to start, so I
described it in detail just in case.
